Use a model to illustrate the organization and interaction of major organs into systems (e.g., circulatory, respiratory, digestive, sensory) in the body to provide specific functions.

A.S.10.3

Depth 2

Collect data from an investigation to show how different organisms react to change (e.g., heart rate increases with exercise, pupils react to light).

A.S.10.4

Depth 2

Use models to describe the energy transfer from the sun to producers to consumers.

A.S.10.5

Depth 2

Use graphical representations to explain changes over time in the population size of an animal species including those on the endangered list.

A.S.10.6

Depth 2

Use graphical representations to explain an animal’s dependence on its ecosystem (e.g., competition with other organisms, challenges due to climate, availability of land, food, water, shelter).

A.S.10.7

Depth 2

Evaluate a strategy to protect a species.

A.S.10.8

Depth 2

Use a model to illustrate how growth occurs when cells multiply.

A.S.10.9

Depth 2

Explain why reproduction may or may not result in offspring with different traits.

A.S.10.10

Depth 2

Explain how the traits of particular species allow them to survive in their specific environments.
